Former Accra Great Olympics head coach, Annor Walker, has passed away at the age of 62 after a short illness at his residence in Accra on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
Walker enjoyed a distinguished coaching career, handling clubs such as Great Olympics, Nania FC, Kpando Hearts of Lions, and Berekum Chelsea.
A CAF License A holder, he famously guided Nania FC to their historic 2011 MTN FA Cup victory over giants Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium.
In 2020, he returned to the dugout with Great Olympics, where he built one of the club’s most competitive squads in recent years. Despite battling health challenges, Walker made a remarkable comeback to steer the side into the upper ranks of the Ghana Premier League.
His expertise was also felt at the national level, as he led the Black Galaxies to the 2023 African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Algeria.
Annor Walker will be remembered for his tactical acumen, keen eye for nurturing talent, and immense contribution to Ghanaian football.
